📝 Preparation Steps
1
Making Strawberry Juice
2
Hull and chop strawberries and place them in a pot with water. For every 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups of chopped strawberries (from 1 quart fresh), add 1/2 cup of water.
3
Bring the strawberries and water to a simmer over medium heat and cook, mashing frequently with a potato masher, until they've completely fallen apart and released their juice (about 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes).
4
Strain through a jelly bag or a fine-mesh strainer lined with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth.

Canning Strawberry Juice
6
Start by preparing a water bath canner, along with jars, lids, and rings. The canner should be barely simmering (180 F) for a hot pack.
7
Heat the strained juice to about 190 degrees F over medium-high heat, but do not boil. Turn down the heat to low and keep the juice at 190 F for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Add sugar and stir to dissolve (if using).
8
Ladle the hot juice into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Apply canning lids and screw-on rings to finger tight.
9
Process in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 15 minutes for half-pints, pints, and quarts. Above 6,000 feet in elevation, increase canning time to ⏱️ 20 minutes.
10
After the canning time has completed, turn off the heat and leave the jars in the water to cool slightly for 5 more minutes (to help prevent siphoning), then use a jar lifter to remove the jars to cool on a towel on the counter.
11
Check seals after ⏱️ 24 hours and store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use. Properly canned and sealed jars of strawberry juice will maintain peak quality on the pantry shelf for 18+ months. Refrigerate after opening.
